You drove it so you understand. I personally hate FWD, i also dont care four four cyl turbo engines, yet, the CTR somehow is an exception to all that. the FWD is fun in this car, and the they've dialed it in so well that it really is something else. The engine is perfect even in stock...
again, I DD mine and think it's the best DD out there right now short of maybe some 911, but at the same time, if I had the means, I would buy a CW type R and store it away. I bet a sub 30 mile FL5 type R will be worth a lot in 15 years. I would just keep one so that when this one gets over...
I do. It is an excellent DD. I have the integra ADS module and comfort mode is pretty good.
I would get a PPF on it though, the paint chips easily with rocks.
it is an endless source of joy, even in traffic it is a fun car to drive, and if needed can actually haul a lot. it feels like it...
I noticed the manual says the preferred jack point is deep in the middle of the car.. . the first time i used a ramp to get some lift and then put the jack in there to lift it up..
Is there a better way? Do any of you guys have an ultra low profile jack that can slide under deep enough to that...
Does heat wrapping the turbo create premature failure somewhere else? I have not heard of that. The rest of his post is just drivel you find on every single forum since car forums existed. Watch out don't blow up your engine, it's expensive!!
PAY TO PLAY, and dont ramp up your torque so fast on...
have you tried swapping in the integra damper module? I did and love the type R twice as much. comfort mode is actually pretty decent with it. that might help the kids.
But honestly if you have two kids in the back i might get the M just for safety. I dont feel like the civic would do as well...
when a 2026 is finally purchased, and it indeed is identical , it should be posted here and this worthless, speculative, no good, old granny yarn of a thread should be sealed and locked.
touche indeed, but no , i dont think it's these other psychological factors you mention, just follow me on this:
You blind fold yourself on an endless tarmac, and you just drive in any direction you want, any speed you want, turn this way and that. feeling wise, the type R feels better than the...
everything is subjective when we're talking about feelings, but I dont agree that it cant compare to high end cars. To me, It does in the sense that it is a pleasure to drive, more so than some exotics. my comparisons are limited, but to me the feeling is much better than a Huracan anywhere...
